Not when you use [[.  This is exactly how [[ is supposed to work; it is
explicitly defined to be shell syntax, as opposed to a builtin command,
so it is allowed to "cheat" with argument quoting.  If you don't like
that, don't use [[ ... but if you're going to implement it, implement
it correctly.  A simple alias to [ is not correct.
